New insights have emerged over the past several years suggesting that our commensal microflora of the gut is extremely important in regulating physiological and immune functions of the body. Covered are the perturbations of the normal composition of our endogenous microbiota, influenced by diet and genetic predispositions, as well as the mechanisms to produce common disorders such as obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, colon cancer, and atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Also explored is the evidence suggesting that predisposition to increasingly common afflictions such as asthma and multiple sclerosis is influenced, in combination with our genetic composition, by early life exposure to environmental microbes and the time of onset of common viral infections. Chapters provide the most recent information on these disorders with regards to epidemiology, current concepts on pathogenesis and mechanisms of their biology, recent research and data on the role of microbes, analysis of their validity, and conclusive remarks and areas for future research. The Role of Microbes in Common Non-Infectious Diseases is an excellent resource for both physicians and investigators from a broad range of disciplines that will help to stimulate new concepts of disease pathogenesis, and lead to the unraveling of their mechanisms of diseases and to novel treatments. About the Author Ignatius [Bill] Fong is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto and he is an author/ editor of 8 previously published books on Infectious Diseases. His research interests include topics in clinical infectious disease, HIV infection, and microbial-induced or -associated atherosclerosis. 000711831 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 13, 2014). 000711831 650_0 $$aMedical microbiology. 000711831 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781493916696 000711831 830_0 $$aEmerging infectious diseases of the 21st century. 000711831 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000711831 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-1670-2$$zOnline Access 000711831 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:711831$$pGLOBAL_SET 000711831 980__ $$aEBOOK 000711831 980__ $$aBIB 000711831 982__ $$aEbook 000711831 983__ $$aOnline 000711831 994__ $$a92$$bISE
